— Reopening schools became a rallying cry for parents. Now it’s a campaign issue in suburban school board races: ‘This is a lot bigger than COVID’ – KAREN ANN CULLOTTA and RAFAEL GUERRERO (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who punish me for my not covering up reports of their wrongdoing in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, etc. I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on the aforesaid who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pre-pandemic, suburban school board contests were often no-drama affairs, in some cases, failing to attract enough candidates to fill open seats. But this election arrives in the wake of a tumultuous 2020 campaign season that was punctuated by parents protesting for reopened schools, marathon school board meetings and even lawsuits, including one filed this month against school board members in Naperville- and Aurora-based Indian Prairie School District 204 by a group of parents who allege a coordinated “cover-up of COVID-19 planning.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-asian-american-discrimination-20210326-c24tczwurff7fng5pqtjnzamsu-story.html
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: To promote diversity is to get rid of individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are law enforcement, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The oldest millennials, born in 1981, were eligible to run for Congress starting in 2006. The first to arrive was former Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., who was elected in 2008, but his career imploded in a very millennial scandal that involved Instagram and prestige-TV-inspired interior design.)

USA TODAY
— Don’t blame the tests: Getting rid of standardized testing means punishing poor students. Eliminating meritocratic opportunities for students to excel will cause colleges to rely on the ‘soft’ parts of a résumé, which will benefit the rich. – Sean-Michael Pigeon (DIERSEN: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. During my junior and senior years and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. Nevertheless, I took college-preparatory courses, gat into the upper 20% of my class, and got a 24 on the ACT. What tests have you passed? The tests that I have passed include a) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, b) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) all the tests necessary to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) all the tests necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, g) the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and h) the Post Office employment examination in 1966.)

— General Motors Top In Manufacturer Loyalty For Sixth Consecutive Year. – SAM MCEACHERN
https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/03/general-motors-top-in-manufacturer-loyalty-for-sixth-consecutive-year/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s worth pointing out GM has the highest manufacturer loyalty and not brand loyalty. That means that an owner of a new GM product (ie. Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac) is more likely to buy another vehicle from one of its four retail brands. This study found Ford had the highest amount of brand loyalty, which was likely largely driven by the loyal buying habits of Ford F-Series customers. “Ford’s leadership in pickups contributed to its industry leading loyalty level of 63 percent, with F-Series accounting for 39 percent of the brand’s make loyal volume in 2020,” IHS Markit said.)

NEW INDIA TIMES
— Raised to identify as Black, Harris steps into role as a voice for Asian Americans – David Nakamura (DIERSEN: My outstanding parents raised me to identify as being a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL). They had me baptized and confirmed as an MSL. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. I should write a book about those who have talked and/or acted the strongest like they hate MSLs. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.
